Guide Stena's Leveling Guide

Stena’s Leveling Guide:
Before reading: Know this what I use to level classes and what I use to obtain level 100s. There may be better alternatives, but I wanted to keep this as accurate to my routine as possible.

Alright, I’ll start with a bit of background information before this thread commences. So, I currently sit at #16 on the combat board with 12 103s, a 104, and a shaman that will (hopefully) be 103 soon. I've also leveled 7 other classes to 100 on a different account. Throughout my arduous journey that started last summer, I’ve learned a lot of tips and tricks that may be beneficial to others. Though speed leveling has changed drastically since I reached 1313 last summer, and running through Shaman connected me to the new way. I’ll start out with a tip list complete with keeping your sanity, random tips, then get to the good stuff and why you clicked on this in the first place.

Best Tips to You:

• Buy XP armor and keep sets if you are mass leveling. This not only makes leveling a lot more manageable and less time consuming, but it’s also really satisfying. There is good gear on the market for any level. Here’s a master list:

Notes:

• You can use Cosmic, though my 90-100+ set gives more.

• Also, you can craft something if you need a better XP output.
• If the weapons are too underpowered at a high level, change it to a second hand then change it to your XP one at the end of the dungeon.
• Some weapons have similar XP bonuses at a certain level, I picked which felt best. Pick your own if you’d like.

• Have a background activity. It can get really boring and will most definitely consume parts of your soul, find something to distract yourself with such as: a movie, music, or a discord call. This will speed up the process and it won’t go by as languidly.

• Remember your mental health. Similar to the previous tip, please remember to eat, sleep, and do normal people things. If there is a grind party or DXP, make sure to take small breaks every now and then. I know you may just really want to finish, but I assure you, your mental health should have priorities over a game.

• Find someone to run you through dungeons. Dungeon grinding is definitely the easiest way to achieve levels quickly (especially with XP gear) in the midgame. Once you reach the point of using The Forgery, find someone that is high level to carry you through. Cutting time in half and not having to do a lot of work is always nice.

• Find a buddy. This is more of a personal preference, though leveling with another is far more fun than solo. Dying will not be as prevalent with another, and more XP is shared with parties.

Random Tips:

• Air powder is the best powder to use at a low level (Corrupted Orbs/Herb Cave monsters)
• Mana steal is also very good at a low level (More reliant on melee instead of spells)
• Never stand in one place, always keep moving
• If you are grinding solo, move in a backward circle. (Keeps mobs tightly together and can kill without taking extreme amounts of damage)
• Know how to use your mobility spells to get you out of precarious situations
• Know when to stop
• You can go in higher-level grind spots if you are careful
• Do not place a totem if you are having trouble with the mobs
• Use T4 powders for lower-level weapons if you have access
• Learn combos for class
• When going to a new area, make sure to go to the nearest town so you won’t be zapped back and have to walk a ways
• Mob totems are best when there is DXP
• Don’t beat yourself up over missing a grind party of DXP
• When using 2 weapons when in a dungeon, always remember to hold the one with XP before it finishes
• Try to get mana for archer early game, it’s the class most reliant on spells
• Bring pots no matter what class

Where to level and when:
1-10:
Mobs: Battered Warriors (-615, -1700)
Dungeons: Decrepit sewers
10-20:
Mobs: Savannah mobs/corrupted ores (bring air weapon) (890, -1304)
Dungeons: Decrepit sewers (until 15 or so) Not efficient beyond that
20-30:
Mobs: Corrupted Ores (890, -1304)
Dungeons: Underworld Crypt
30-40:
Mobs: Corrupted Ores/Herb cave monsters/Ember Spawn/ Saint's Row (~38) (890, -1304) (-505, -843)
Dungeons: Not efficient
40-50:
Mobs: Ember Spawn/Llevigar spiders (-505, -843) (-1779, -4855)
Dungeons: Not Efficient
50-60:
Mobs: Ember Spawn (-505, -843)
Dungeons: Jungle (Not very efficient but I thought I’d put it there
60-70:
Mobs: Ember Spawn//Tol Villagers (I don’t recommend, though I thought I’d them on the list) (-505, -843)
Dungeons: Corrupted Decrepit Sewers
70-80:
Mobs: Pyret cave (1480, -5102)
Dungeons: Corrupted Decrepit Sewers/Underworld Crypt
80-90:
Mobs: Ice Heights/Dcave
Dungeons: Corrupted Ice Borrows
90-100:
Mobs: Ice Heights/Dcave
Dungeons: Corrupted Ice Borrows

Notes:

1. Some of these may be a bit harder for newer levelers. If these are too hard to manage, switch to a lower level mob
2. This may change with future updates
3. I don’t like doing dungeons for early/mid-game. They take too long and not as efficient as normal XP grinding. Though you may feel differently, do what is most comfortable to you.

End Notes:
I hope this helps those looking to level up classes or just level in general, I’ve been wanting to make this for months but never found the time. Now that I have to pull an allnighter to catch a plane at 6 AM, this is the perfect opportunity. I’m probably going to add/delete stuff from this list as time goes on. Please correct if there are any mistakes or a better alternative.

 

20-30 Saint's Row is exponentially faster. Did a test with a guildmate with one leveling on the Ores and one in the Saints rows mobs, End result was saints row got 3 levels per one for the ore During DXP with Totems on both. You'll be done in 2 totems.
Also the Spiders outside of Llevigar are amazing for 40-50, you can get it done in 30mins with 3~ totems. (Just make sure you wear an air/walkspeed build)

 

This is a stellar guide

I may or may not have forgotten to do multiple biological functions while grinding

 

Mushroom spot near black road is good for 10-20.

20-30's best spot is probably Saint's Row (though it requires doing Gravedigger to a certain point).

There's a spot north-east of Aldorei which is for 65-80 or something like that.

Herb cave for 30-40 seems a bit extreme, personally I'd say it's good for 45-65.

Ember spawn seems even more extreme for 30-40, instead I would use spots outside Almuj.

Tol Villagers basically needs mob totems to be viable.

There are also two Bandit areas which give great xp (see Shot's leveling video), but the higher level one is quite dangerous.

I know you said that some of these may be hard for new levelers, but using Herb cave/Ember spawn at 30-40 just seems like you need to spend a lot on good armor.

Nice thread, though. Seems like you took quite some time typing it up.

 

Thank you, Liz

 

Saints row is op, you can go from 20-40 in an hour or less

________________________________

Oh and CUR is a thing now, and way better than CIB

 

Hell even 30-40 saint row works

 

Just thericks armor and valley of time star mods to get to 1 to 20 in 8 mis.

 

What about that spider spot near Mt Wynn? I got from like 20-40 in like one bomb ( without good xp gear)

 

Why are you guys like this
Now the CT gonna nerf saints row

 

Ah, Saint's Row sucks. You need at least 10k health to grind there, it takes about 3 hours to gain 33% of a level, and every mob drops 3 unneeded potions to fill up your inventory as revenge for your attempted massacre. Plus, the spawn rates are about 2 mobs/minute. Utter trash, don't use it.

A rumor is going around that totems actually decrease the spawn rates, so sucks for you ranked people.

Also the rare mob Ghost of Saint's Row only has a 10% chance of dropping its ings, so don't even bother to kill it.

What's that? You like boss altars? Don't worry, Rotten Passage only requires 400 rotten flesh to run once.

Did I mention you have to do a 6 hr quest to unlock it? Insane, right?

So yeah, Saint's Row is a horrible place. Don't ever visit it unless you're level 107.

 

I used Time valley mobs from 11-20, saint's row from 20-34, endermites from 34-42, spiders from 42-51, herbcave from 51-68, and then living scrap from 68-98. After I hit 98 I did some quests to get lv100, then did all of the expanse quests and discoveries to get 105. Then I started bulb cave parties to hit 106, and I guess that kinda caught on (though now it's a lot tougher of a spot)
Living scrap is by far the most brokenly overpowered source of xp in the game, giving around 7k with 0 xp bonus at level 75, and they're totemable.

Using these spots with my Skyseer, combined with the Hunted Mode challenge, I got my skyseer to level 106 in 23 hours, though I don't recommend going that fast.
(I'm gonna be putting together a bunch of low level xp sets and optimizing this in the future, I wanna try to see how stupidly fast I can level a character)

Good luck, my friend!

 

May I ask where to find the Living Scrap spot? I can't find it anywhere when I search it up.

 

Living Scrap is at -106 -4592, southeast of Cinfras. I wouldn't go in full xp gear at-level if it's your first time there, they hit very hard and can surprise you

 

Found it, everything you said is accurate about the hard-hitting, thanks!
